GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AMS2908 series of adjustable and fixed voltage regulators are designed to provide 800mA output current and to operate
down to 1V input-to-output differential. The dropout voltage of the device is guaranteed maximum 1.3V at maximum output
current, decreasing at lower load currents.
On-chip trimming adjusts the reference voltage to 1%. Current limit is also trimmed, minimizing the stress under overload
conditions on both the regulator and power source circuitry.
The AMS2908 devices are pin compatible with other three-terminal regulators and are offered in the low profile surface
mount SOT-223 package and in the TO-252 (DPAK) plastic package.

Parameters identified with boldface type apply over the full operating temperature range.
Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the
Electrical Characteristics. The guaranteed specifications apply only for the test conditions listed.
Note 2: Line and Load regulation are guaranteed up to the maximum power dissipation of 1.2 W. Power dissipation is determined by the input/output differential
and the output current. Guaranteed maximum power dissipation will not be available over the full input/output range.
Note 3: See thermal regulation specifications for changes in output voltage due to heating effects. Line and load regulation are measured at a constant junction
temperature by low duty cycle pulse testing. Load regulation is measured at the output lead ~1/8” from the package.
Note 4: Dropout voltage is specified over the full output current range of the device.
Note 5: Minimum load current is defined as the minimum output current required to maintain regulation. When 1.5V ≤ (V
guaranteed to regulate if the output current is greater than 10mA.
